Project: Make my own dayum Neck Pads!
After searching relentlessly for Beige neck pads and not much luck. I didnt want one with a VIP or Junction Produce or anything stitched on it. Just wanted it to match my seats. Even found a set on eBay for over $100!! pssh screw that. I had left over material from my shift boots so i gave it a wack.
Just know, sometimes when you take on these little DIY's they may or may not work out or look good. I don't think they came out quite right so i may just get rid of them, but here's how it went down. Took about 2.5 hours total.
Measured out how i wanted the template to be from just eyeballing pics on the web and measuring my seat etc..

Thoughts? Trash it or Rock it?
